Please start your comment with the write-in name for a positive (yes) vote, or with the word "NOT" followed by the write-in name for a negative (No) vote.

An "Undecided" vote can be used to leave a comment but will not be counted for or against any potential vice-president.

You may choose who would you like most to see as the Vice President if and when Barack Obama becomes the President of the United States of America, by voting "Yes" and writing in that person's name as the first line of your comment.
---
For examples, if you answered no, you might write in something like...

Albert Gore (Albert Arnold Gore, Jr.; aka Al Gore; former Vice President)
...Because he was a popular choice world-wide when he ran for president.
---

Alternatively you may choose to indicate who you would be most opposed to seeing as Vice President if and when Barack Obama becomes the President of the United States of America, by voting "No" and writing in "NOT" followed by that person's name on the first line of your comment.

---
For examples, if you answered no, you might write in something like...

NOT Jesse Jackson (the Reverend Jesse Louis Jackson, Sr.; former presidential candidate)
...Because I don't share his views on [_insert_objections_here_].
---

IMPORTANT: If you vote "No" and fail to put the word NOT or AGAINST in front of the write-in name, I will count it as an error.
Likewise, if you vote "YES" and write NOT or AGAINST in front of the name, I will count that as an error also.

If the write-in name is not on the first line, it may quite possibly not get correctly counted.


Approval will be rated by subtracting the votes AGAINST a potential Vice President from the votes FOR the same individual, so cast a positive vote if you have one and keep in mind that a negative write-in for an extremely unlikely possibility will probably be a somewhat wasted vote.

Please use full first and last name (correctly spelled if possible) for easy sorting, followed optionally by any title or other identifying information in parentheses.

If you would like some ideas of who to write in, look at other people's answers first and see if there's one you like or particularly dislike.

Here are some suggestions for consideration, included here to help keep spelling consistent for easier sorting and counting...
